Hoxworth Mobile Unit

Monday, August 10, 2020
12:00 pm - 6:00 pm

In order to meet the needs of patients in our community, over 350 volunteer blood donors and 40 platelet donors are needed each day to provide an adequate blood supply. Approximately 37% of the adult population in this country is eligible to donate blood, but only 5% do. Please consider being a donor when the Hoxworth Mobile Unit visits your Newport Library. Participate in the blood drive and make a difference in the lives of patients in local hospitals. Each unit of blood donated can save up to three lives
